A Quiet Passion
2016 · Movie · 125 min. · United Kingdom
A film based on the life and work of the great poet Emily Dickinson, born in 1803. She wrote a poem a day, but only a fraction of her output was published throughout her lifetime. She was extremely shy, but with a wry, lively sense of humor and loved to laugh or to be made to laugh. Her friendships were intense but it was within the family that she found her greatest happiness. Her life is one of quiet dignity. The poetry magnificent. All the terror and beauty of the world distilled down to the quintessence of meaning and expression. She is quite simply one of the world's greatest poets.
